This is the very fascinating story of many forms of love.
Ms. Binchy excels in intimately acquainting the reader with a woman who is has desperately searched for "true" love. When she feels she has found it, once again she realizes her loss. The story is very complex and never dull. I think back on the story often and will always consider "The Glass Lake" one of the most excellent books I have read. | ||
